Police & Fire: November 27, 2012

Chippewa County Sheriff Deputies report one arrest following a Saturday investigation into a malicious destruction of property complaint.

Witnesses reported that a male had become angry after receiving a ride and punched a side window before smashing a beer bottle breaking the windshield.

The man said he did not remember causing the damage when questioned by authorities.

Corey B. Bradley, 28, of the Sault was arrested for malicious destruction of property over $500 and lodged in the Chippewa County Jail.

Drunk driving

Chippewa County Sheriff Deputies were alerted to a possible drunk driver behind the wheel of a red Jeep early Sunday morning, prompting a traffic stop on Fair Road in Kinross Township.

A battery of failed sobriety tests resulted in the arrest of Donald C. Newell, 31, of Kinross for operating while intoxicated.

Newell was booked into the Chippewa County Jail.

Warrant arrest

Chippewa County Sheriff Deputies report the recent arrest of Brandon M. Rairigh, 34, of DeTour on the force of an outstanding warrant. Rairigh was arrested without incident at a Church Road residence and subsequently lodged in the Chippewa County Jail.

Suspended licenses

Chippewa County Sheriff Deputies report a trio of recent arrests after coming into contact with drivers who were unable to produce valid licenses.

• Steven T. Johnson, 56, of Plymouth was arrested Saturday evening for driving while license suspended after his vehicle was observed in the area of the Kinross prisons. Johnson was lodged in the county jail.

• Christopher S. Talentino, 21, was arrested for driving while license suspended following a Sunday morning traffic stop on Ashmun near Spruce. He was also booked into the county jail.

• Harold W. Kinney Jr., 30, of Kincheloe was cited for driving while license suspended after his vehicle was speeding on Tone Road early Sunday morning. Noting the close proximity of his residence, deputies opted to release Kinney with a future court date citing him for the offense and allowing him to walk home.

Slippery roads

Sault Police reports indicate that slippery roads continue to cause difficulty for drivers with three separate incidents on Monday where cars left the roadway and wound up mired in nearby ditched.

The first incident occurred along W. 20th Avenue shortly before 8 a.m., while the second two incidents took place between noon and 1 p.m. along northbound I-75 in the vicinity of Three Mile Road.

There were no injuries in any of the mishaps and all three vehicles were stuck, but undamaged.

Officers remained on the scene as tow trucks freed the vehicles and police closed the books on all three reports without issuing any citations.
